THE CAST 

KROM 

THE FACE OF SHAKSPEARE 

After DEATH, 1616. 

Extracts from " FrisweU's Life Portraits of William Shakspeare/' 

The History is as follows : — 

A German nobleman had an ancestor who was attached to one of the 
ambassadors accredited to the Courtof King James I. This gentleman was, hke 
many of his countrymen at a later period, a great admirer of the genius of 
Shakspeare, and as a memorial of him, bought the Cast, in all probability 
from the sculptor of his tomb, Gerard Johnson ; had it carefully preserved, 
and took it with him to his own country. There it was shown in his castle, 
and looked upon with much awe by his friends and neighbours.* The 
nobleman who brought it home employed a pupil of Vandyke to paint the 
miniature which accompanied it. The mask and miniature remained in the 
family, and descended from father to son for many generations, until they 
came into the possession of the last of the family, a dignitary of the Church 
in Cologne.! Dr. Becker (the brother to the Secretary of the late Prince 
Consort) purchased the Cast and also the miniature, and about twelve years 
since, lodged them in the private possession of Professor Owen, but sub- 
sequently the brother of Dr. Becker took it back to Germany. It is believed 
that Dr. Becker perished in the disastrous South Australian expedition. 

All the original legal documents connected with this precious Relic were 
likewise in the possession of Professor Owen Amongst them was a letter 
from Professor Muller, stating that the Kessalsdadt family kept up a lively 
commerce in works of art with London for nearly 300 years, and that they 
had a/^arge collection of the Portraits of Gustavus Adolphus, Henry IV., 
Luthfr, Melancthon, &c., &c., and that among the j-.x'z/i^^zj' who visited the 
collection, not the least doubt existed as to the authenticity of the Shakspeare 
Relic. 

It has been admirably and artistically posed and copied by the Stereoscopic 
Company, and the mask of the face of the dead Poet, reposing on a rich 
velvet, and wearing the drawn and refined expression of Death, as well as its 
calm repose, is a very striking one. HAIN FRISWELL. 

The late Chief Baron Pollock, after considering the whole of the historical 
evidence laid before him by Professor Owen, declared that if called upon to 
pronounce a judicial decision, it would be that it was none other than the 
Cast from the Head and Face of Shakspeare. 

* Fanny Kemble was so much impressed with its vivid truthfulness, that on seeing it she 
burst into tears, 
t The back of the Cast bears the inscription — A.D. 1616 — the year Shakspeare died.

Prefatory Note. 



' I ^HAT works, written from two hundred and fifty to three hundred years 
since, should furnish an apt and appropriate quotation against each 
daily event recorded in the following pages, is another proof of the mar- 
vellous, and almost miraculous, power and versatility of Shakspeare's 
genius,* and will impress the mind, perhaps, more forcibly than many 
works of a more elaborate and ambitious character, that our great master- 
spirit " was not for an age, but 

"FOR ALL TIME." 

This little work is another tribute laid humbly upon his shrine. 



* It may be mentioned incidentally, and as a fact not generally known, that the late 
Lord Palmerston was of opinion — and this he expressed to the writer — that Shak- 
speare did not write the plays which pass as his productions, but that his name was 
merely used to introduce them to the world. The main point or principle in his argu- 
ment was, that as these works are admitted by all to be the greatest works of any age 
or country, was it in any degree probable that they should be the productions of an 
actor, actively engaged in his profession, born in a provincial town, and with 
comparatively no education ? On the other hand, there was one man living at the 
time these works were produced, whose great intellect, extended knowledge, and pro- 
found philosophy wei-e equal to their production, and, therefore, Bacon, and not 
Shakspeare, wrote " Shakspeare." It was easy to answer these arguments, but not 
easy to convince the veteran statesman that the facts were all against him. It is 
singular that the practical mind of Lord Palmerston should have hai'boured, and so 
stoutly defended, such an opinion. 



NOTE. 

The ruled lines are intended for the admirers of the great poet to make other quota- 
tions appropriate to the events which their memories may recall, and which may pos- 
sibly be more striking than the one selected by the compiler. Thus, for the event on 
the 15th April (the Boat-Race), another very apt quotation might strike the reader in 
^he play of Henry VI., which he would do well to record : —
